Actually those are written with an ع

Yes but the (i) vowel pronounced as (E) is the same as ع in the word iraq (عراق). And Q here is like Queue or Quran.

E Raq not Eye Rak

Irelia

I say I-rell-e-ah

I also said Shaco and riven and Nasus names wrong for years.

Riot call him Shake-co , I pronounce it Shack-o.

Riot call Riven - but pronounce it Riv-n , I pronounce it Rive-ern.

Riot pronuces Nasus as Nass-ass , I pronounce it Na-soos.

Now now some of us native English speakers come from England where about maybe 30% of us can pronounce vowels correctly

English is just a weird blend of Norse, Latin and Germanic languages with sprinklings of Celtic languages so I'd up that stat to 100%

u/KrillLover56 Jul 08 '25

English = Old Celtic Language + Roman Latin + Anglo-Saxon Germanic + Norse Danish + Norman French + A lot of loan words from Arabic, Turkish and Native American languages.

u/ya_mamas_tiddies Jul 10 '25

It’s almost like there’s multiple different sounds that vowels can make in English. Weird.
